Vintage-Style Light Green Glass Dangle Clip-On Earring

This is a single dangle-style clip-on earring featuring light green faceted glass beads suspended from a silver-toned metal mounting. The earring utilizes a traditional paddle-back clip-on mechanism, commonly used as an alternative to pierced styles. The central ornament consists of a larger bicone or melon-shaped faceted glass bead in an a-pale olive or seafoam green hue, accented by a smaller matching bead at the base. The construction appears to be costume jewelry, likely mid to late 20th century, using basic wire-wrapping and jump rings to connect the dangle to the clip base. The metal shows significant signs of tarnish, patina, and potential plating loss, particularly on the clip mechanism and the metal ball post element, suggesting it is made of a base metal alloy rather than precious metal. The glass beads appear intact without major chips, though the facets show minor surface wear consistent with age. There are no visible maker's marks or stamps on the paddle back. This piece represents typical mid-century modest costume jewelry, often sold in sets, though only one earring is present here. The overall condition is fair to used due to the surface oxidation of the metal components.
